Changes, A New Card and I've been Published!

Good afternoon everyone!

Well, I'm here at long last this afternoon. What a crazy morning! Had a doctor's appointment this morning, and grocery shopping this afternoon. I am so glad I already had cards made to share with you today. I don't know if I'll have a chance to do any stamping over the weekend, so I'm only posting one today and will share the rest next week. I used Mellow Moss as my card base and the patterned paper is from Basic Grey. I layered Ruby Red and Groovy Guava and wrapped a piece of Lil Davis Design ribbon. The main image is from Simply Said. I stamped it with black ink on glossy paper and then used sponges to layer Ruby Red, Mellow Moss and Guava Ink.
It's also the first of the month, so as you can see I've changed the template. I think I finally got it the way I want it and I hope that you like it.
It's been a crazy week, so I really haven't done any blog hopping or challenges this week. I am also thinking that I'm going to spend next week working on Reagan's scrapbook. She picked out her album this week, so now I finally have a place to put the pages once they are complete. Although I have ideas for cards rolling around in my head as well!
So, now for my exciting news! I'm please to announce my debut published online article. I wrote an article for Scrapbooking.com for August. I've also written one for next month. It really is exciting to see your name with your work. Click on the link and let me know what you think.
That's all for me, have a great weekend and thanks so much for visiting with me.
